About

Trimethylolpropane Tristearate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Trimethylolpropane tristearate is a tri-ester of trimethylolpropane and stearic acid, functioning as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. It shares the safety profile of its triisostearate counterpart, with no GHS hazard statements and no EU Cosmetics Regulation restrictions. Its lipophilic tri-ester structure makes it particularly suitable for anhydrous cosmetic systems such as lip balms, ointments, and protective creams.

Skin benefits
